The article from MSN discusses comments made by Simon Harris, the Minister for Further and Higher Education, regarding the housing targets set by Darragh O'Brien, the Minister for Housing. Harris expressed that O'Brien should not have publicly committed to delivering 40,000 new homes in 2023, as this figure was seen as a target rather than a guaranteed outcome. This statement came after it was revealed that the actual number of new homes completed was significantly lower, at around 32,695. Harris's remarks suggest a critique of setting overly ambitious public targets which could lead to public disappointment and political pressure when not met. The article also touches on the broader context of Ireland's housing crisis, where despite efforts, the government struggles to meet the housing demands, leading to ongoing debates about policy effectiveness and political accountability.
